What is for supper?

Tonight. I am making tacos. Why am I making tacos? I am making tacos because the kids will eat it, I have all the ingredients on hand and it is fairly cheap(not the cheapest but still). I believe for 4 people it will be around 10-12 dollars.

I took out the last of my ground beef this morning to thaw. I have a taco kit in the cupboard we got at Costco awhile ago(we got three in the package and this is the last one) (Oh Marie!! Do you get your check from Costco in Jan? We do and I am looking forward to it, can't wait to stock up there, how did your FPU thing go with DH?)Sorry, back to my dinner plans--I have tomatoes and green onions I need to use up and oh some sour cream, I have cheese on hand as well. My BF's mom makes salsa and gives us some so we can use that too.

There will not be left overs but I have some sandwich meat we need to use up so that works out.

Oh Kate: I made french onion soup the other day. I had not made it before. It was not the best thing I have ever made.....I think I can tweak the recipe, a litte less of something and little more of something else. I think a little less tyme and little more of something to make it richer tasting like worchestire sauce or port? Any ideas people? It was just a little blah. So you see Kate, not everything is perfect and BF would not take it for left overs!(but I did!)

What are you making for dinner ladies and gents?

I desperately need to grocery shop, so I think this will be our splurge day, and we will be getting Little Caesar's pizza. I can get 2 pizzas, an order of breadsticks with sauce, and a 2 liter of Sprite for $14.84. Not the healthiest dinner, but we don't do it often, so I refuse to feel too guilty about it. Then once I put the kids in bed tonight I will be heading out to the grocery store (not bad since the boys go to bed by 8:00pm). All the meals on here have given me some ideas for my grocery list!

They both recovered, but it seems this flu has about a five day incubation period.

Sandwiches for both of us and salad for DH.


BTW, we've got a taco night planned for the near future, too.

OMG that is the exact same recipe I used!!! 1st one that comes up on allrecipes(love that site)!! I found it just needed something else and the tyme(although a small amount) was too much. I will add worchestire, red wine/port next time to give it more of a rich flavor and a slight tangyness. It is better the next day for sure.

Better late than never, dinner last night was pasta with 1/2 jar of pasta sauce with toast. We had a dance class to be at so needed something quick but not too heavy to eat.

DH & my entertainment is taking ball room dance classes once a year.
